Episode Synopsis
When to Consider Intervention for Peripheral Arterial Disease
Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.
Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D.
Although optimal medical therapy is key to decrease the risk of major adverse cardiac events in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), lower extremity arterial revascularization also plays an important role in management of symptoms and prevention of amputation. Thus, it is important to recognize the optimal timing for patient to be referred for lower extremity arterial revascularization. This podcast will discuss when patients with established PAD should be considered for peripheral revascularization.
Topics Discussed:
Can you tell us about clinical subsets of PAD and what symptoms may be expected with each subset?
Recent BEST-CLI trial garnered a lot of attention and press. Can you tell us more about this trial and why results are important for treatment of patients with CLTI?
When should a patient with claudication be referred for revascularization?
